Obama's Woeful Jobs Record

The president promised much more than he has delivered on various projects.

Back in 2011 and 2012, while he was campaigning for a second term, President Barack Obama appeared to be fixated on fixing our broken economy and creating jobs, especially union jobs. His mantra: "We can't wait," which he uttered just about every day, like a man in a hurry to get the job done. He boasted that he'd employ his administrative powers to circumvent Congress and fire up the nation's stalled economic engine.
